Without a doubt it is wrong for a dog to bite it's owner, the hand that feeds
it. But you miss the point still. THIS WOMAN DID NOT TEACH HER DOG THAT IT
WAS WRONG TO BITE HER. And thus the dog bit her, to death.

In my Personal opinion..."There is not now, nor has there ever been any
valid excuse, for "a Dog to Bite the Kind Hand that Feeds it !!!!!!! The
only
solution is a one-way trip to the Vet. asap!!!!!!!!!!

I've got to agree with this, too. Other than small puppies (who are still
learning the rules), the only time I've ever been bitten by my own dogs
has been when I've been breaking up a fight - and then they release
immediately when they feel they've hit the wrong target. I've never had
worse than a bruise or small puncture wound the few times that's
happened.
I have to know that I can give a correction, take away a toy, or even
grab something out of their mouths if they have something I don't think
is safe, and not need to worry about the dog's reaction. And I have done
all of the above!
It's not just breeds with an aggressive reputation that do this. A
coworker I was talking to last week showed me her arm that was
covered with multiple large scars. She got them 12 years ago,
breaking up a fight between her two Border Collie/Golden Retriever
mixes. One actually redirected his attack to her when she interferred.
She told me she had over 120 stitches. I was pretty horrified and
didn't tell her that no GSD I've ever owned would have done that!
